Quoted:
I've noticed a few shows like Everybody Loves Raymond and The Closer - that were "Included" a few days ago are now $1.99 per episode. Even the ones I've already watched. I'm knida new to Prime so what gives? They add and remove shows and movies from prime frequently. Netflix does the same thing. |

yeah--i understood it to be a rotation, rather than some shows being always free.

People just don't notice it as much on Netflix because once it it gone, it is gone. On Amazon, once it is no longer Prime, it is still there, but with a price on it. |

Amazon Prime's TV and Movie selection sucks balls. Best selection on earth for Renting and Viewing online though, which is their saving grace.
Netflix has the best selection of Series and Documentaries, Hands down. HBOGO has the best movie selection, and they update it with great stuff every month. Shotime Anytime - Has 1-2 good series. The movie selection makes me wonder how they stay in business. |

If you buy a lot of stuff and select the slow shipping you get a $1 credit toward movie, music, or book downloads. Divide up prime items into individual shipments and you will get even more.
Spent $2 worth of credit for a show and they gave me a $1 credit for "buying" the show. Just happened with the first episode of the series. |

I bought it for the price advertised, not their fault they give it away later. Besides, I get my money's worth out of Prime membership. |

I'm not surprised. they've raised the price of prime a few times since it started, and lately the 2 day shipping has been more like 3 or 4

the trick is to put everything that you want to watch on your watchlist, then click through regularly to see what has popped up on prime.
